I went to the market again this evening (as I do most Tuesdays once May rolls around) in search of my friend Seth from Forbes Wild Foods. I was hoping he’d have more dried elderflowers since I burned through them rather quickly over the weekend. Unfortunately that was not in the cards today, though he did promise me a bag for next week’s market. As a consolation prize I helped myself to some of his other tasty edibles; maple syrup, more ramps and some garlic scapes, with not an inkling of what I would do with any of them.
One of the things I love about market days is not planning out what’s for dinner. I’ll arrive at the market and let what’s fresh and in season inspire me towards inner deliciousness. This evening I prepared our second real market meal of the season, a sparkling green pasta with flecks of rosy guanciale.
